Acting
Made for a film school assignment that required a real documentary, the filmmakers instead created a fake documentary disguised as nonfiction, successfully fooling their professor. The film takes place over the course of a drunken night, in which an alcoholic man and his drinking companion speak with the filmmakers about addiction, drifting between painful memories, absurd stories, humor, and contradictions, until the line between confession and performance begins to disappear.
It's Lava's 20th birthday. She spends her day drifting between classrooms, cafés, her car, and crowded living rooms as friends and family prepare celebration after celebration in her honor.
